    Will this radio swap into my box?

    Sorry for the large pics and the general n00b-ism. Just curious if anyone can tell if this radio will swap into my vic without too much re-wiring. Thanks in advance.

        short answer is no, long answer is its possible if you want to do all the wiring modifications. Basically the stock 85 wiring is useless, what you end up doing with it is running new speaker wires to each speaker and making it work that way. The 85 has common grounds and stuff which were done away with in I believe 1988. Plugs are different too. You wont be able to use an aftermarket radio without running new wires either unfortunately.

          OOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

          the wal-mart head unit wire harness kit I got for the 91 has BOTH types of plugs on it, old and new style (covers more years/cars that way). I bet you could us it to plug that stereo right in.
